Question:

Rationalize the following observations.

(a) On forming

the C–C bond in C2(CN)4 lengthens from 135 to 151 pm.

(b) During the photolysis of Mo(CO)5(THF) with PPh3, a signal in the 31P NMR spectrum at δ –6 ppm disappears and is replaced by one at δ +37 ppm.

(c) On going from Fe(CO)5 to Fe(CO)3(PPh3)2, absorptions in the IR spectrum at 2025 and 2000cm−1 are replaced by a band at 1885cm−1.
